Following an early basket by Lampkins, Eastern Michigan went on a 13-0 run. The Bobcats showed resilience, though, responding with a 15-6 run of their own to cut the Eagles' lead to 19-17 with 7:51 remaining in the first half. Eastern Michigan carried a 32-23 advantage over Ohio into the break.

The Bobcats opened the second stanza with force, unraveling a 6-0 run to chop the Eagles' lead down to three (32-29). The Green and White failed to inch any closer in the remainder of the game.

Ohio held the edge over Eastern Michigan in points in the paint (26-18) and bench points (20-3).

The Bobcats will have a five-day break as they next return to the floor when they travel to play Toledo on Saturday (Feb. 15) at Savage Arena. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
